Environment Agency staff go the extra mile



The Environment Agency has been providing support to the emergency services and people in isolated villages and communities, using its 4x4 vehicles to get them through the snow.
Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman said:

"I’m delighted that Environment Agency staff have taken it upon themselves to help out their local communities in this awful weather. Environment Agency staff have worked tirelessly round the clock – helping hospitals by ferrying staff and patients to and from their hospitals; they have driven district nurses and midwives through snow which meant they were able to make vital home visits and helped deliver meals on wheels. Their actions in helping others epitomise the Big Society. In general they have provided help and support where ever they were needed and I know that they will continue doing this as long as they are needed."

"i pay a lot of money to the agency to fish"

You might want to spend some money on learning how to write properly!

And how much is £1000.500?

Embarrassing.
